In reply to the discussion: CNET Story Alleging NSA Can Listen To Phone Calls w/o Warrant Faces Skepticism - BIG UPDATE [View all]HooptieWagon
(17,064 posts)At a Judiciary Committee meeting, Nadler asked Mueller if ph conversations could be listened to without warrants. Mueller replied "no". Nadler asled if that information was classified, Mueller replied "no". Nadler then stated that at an earlier meeting of the Intelligence Committee, the NSA official gave the opposite answer. He then gaxve Mueller an opportunity to answer the question again. Mueller fumbled for a reply, whereupon Nadler asked if he'd like some time before answering. Mueller said yes, he'd like to check before answering.
There were 2 different meetings being referenced. My ph doesn't play the clip you linked, but its likely the Judiciary Committee meeting. Very unlikely CSPAN would be recording the earlier closed meeting of Intelligence Committee...which is when Nadler was told of the warrantless eavesdropping.
Nadler was hardly schooled...in fact, it was Mueller who fumbled for an answer, and couldn't. Nadler is an attorney, and a good attorney always knows the answer to a question hes asking. He knew the NSA was illegally wiretapping, and he deliberately put Mueller on the spot.
Keep up your spinning though...you're making us ROTFL. If you're not being paid to spin, you're still being paid too much.
